Libera Scuola del Giardino

The Pav Pop Up shop comes after one year of work of the Libera
Scuola del Giardino group, developed as a workshop-based expansion
on the themes explored in 2015 in Grow it Yourself, an exhibition
curated by Marco Scotini. The workshop-based journey, which is part
of AEF|Attività Educative e Formative, born from the encounter with
Wapke Feenstra, as part of a year of research and creation by the
group and Andrea Caretto|Raffaella Spagna to produce plant-based
products. The aim of the project is to define a new and specific
collective identity, based on shared experiences, both in terms of
planning and implementation, for the purposes of raising awareness
of the natural resources that exist in the PAV area. Through the
various stages of researching, cultivating and transforming
botanical species, the project intends to bridge the gap between
consumption and cultural production as, by participating in the
creation of a consumer good, the producer and consumer of the end
product are woven together. The project represents a direct
contribution to the International Village Shop. Thanks to the
working group, the Libera Scuola del Giardino sees the progressive
launch of temporary initiatives for the sale and exchange of
products obtained through cultivation, collection and processing of
raw ingredients. Specifically, a quadrangular area is set out
within the park, divided into four sections for growing vegetables,
and adjacent portions of land are made available for the
spontaneous growth of field-based species, left free to express the
maximum degree of biodiversity that the area has to offer. The
cultivation of the garden, the spontaneous areas and the entire PAV
territory give rise to the production of seasonal products,
obtained through the cultivation of raw materials; this is combined
with the creation of packaging to present the materials in a form
suitable for exchange and sale as art multiples.
